Default Rounding Landing Gear Edges, Etc.

Someone told me that if you round the LE of landing gear the aerodynamic properties will increase. I.E. the plane will fly faster.
I also just heard that rounding the TE on control surfaces that otherwise, according to plans, just need the edge taken off will cause flutter at high speeds. Credence to any of this?
